Newcastle Player Admits Frustration On Tyneside

Mathieu Debuchy has been speaking today with the French daily L’Equipe, and he has indicated that he has been frustrated playing for Newcastle because the coach has told him to stay back.

Mathieu Debuchy – in French colors – frustrated This is what Mathieu told the French daily L’Equipe today:

“I was a little frustrated in my first season at Newcastle because the coach asked me to stay behind, while for France the coach told me to stay high.¨

“If you do not go up enough, people will say that you do not bring enough offensively.” “And if you go up too much, they will say that you are not calm defensively.¨

“That’s why there will always be critics but I still have to make progress on some points.” “You ask me how the competing is going, if I think about playing, what I think of his game but I’m focusing first of all on me,”

“I try to give my all, Bacary too, then after this the coach will make his choice. In football, everything goes very fast.”

Whatever you do in life, you will always face criticism, sometimes severe, and you can either try to avoid it, flinch from it, ignore it, or face it full-on and toughen up because of it, and I’ve found the latter approach is the best way to go.

And the time when you don’t get criticized is the time after you have died – but it even continues after that too. 😀

And these translations from the French are difficult sometimes, and whether Mathieu meant his first season was the half season after he first arrived a year last January, or last season, is not too clear.

But generally Debuchy has been given free rein to attack down the wing, since that’s one of the best parts of his game – and he wouldn’t make a bad right winger.

Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna is now playing close to his very best form, after a string of injuries over the last eighteen months, and Mathieu will need to fight it out with Sagna for that starting right back position in Brazil.

Sagna will become a free agent at the end of June, and there was some news a few days ago that Manchester City have agreed a three-year-deal with the player, which is reported to be worth around £140K/ week – which is a cool £9M a year.

I should have said. “If I can name you to Ed, giving him the inclination to carry out a few basic background checks that will see you taking the walk of shame, you may not be quite so stupidly pleased with your silly self.”

Welshgeordie. Make a sentence from the following: “Rope, Enough, Hang.”

As I’ve stated, they identified there errors and have moved quickly to rectify them instead of continuing to stumble cluelessly around like a blind man in a furniture store Not me who’s the clueless one here

BandB Ah yes TDS I’m sure he’d be saying how we could never attract Poch as he only wants clubs in Europe whilst continuing to chalk off every manager outside the top 8 in the PL as not good enough/unproven whilst at the same time saying how we couldn’t attract a top 8 manager “Just get behind Pardew…” Notice the other blogs gone very quiet after gaining a new recruit!

lille in french league where quality is less and you can attack all day with not much need for defence so all pards has done is asked him to learn how to defend and tbh it has made him a better player for it if not our best player !

explains why french cb’s dont gel also (mbiwa/sakho) i hope mbiwa comes good as i <3'd the lad before he signed for us and was my personal no1 target before he signed but the dark side of me is saying the french lads just not cut out to be cb's

catchy is a first class tit end of, but now we are not acting like 5 year olds which we both were as I am sure you would agree, we can now debate sensibly, MYM is a mystery to me, he is quick and agile which is now needed in the PL, but he does lack concentration which is a big downside, but to no surprise he was at his best with Willo, well surprise surprise, but Willo is still shite, Mbiwa got him his standing, so why not put Saylor alongside Mbwa, Saylor good in the air, Mbiwa quick, and Saylor always is liable to weigh in with a goal or 2, so why did this not happen, PARDEW,I have always accepted his faults, never tried not too.

But there has in fairness been some good displays and sustained good form, and it cannot be denied that those coming in were not good enough, but that’s history, its the now which is important, and what I see now is not pretty, two years without a signing is a recipe for disaster, whoever the manager is.

My argument is, if you get rid of Pardew where will we be in 2 tears time, the chances are we may have slightly better football but we will be no better off, but we may go down as well, whereas if we got a new owner the chances are Pardew would go anyway but we would have a good chance of progressing which we currently don’t have, that is why I wish you and others would concentrate on what is important, Pardew is not important, Mike Ashley is everything but the longer you frustrate your anger at Pardew rather than Ashley then the likelier we are to stay as we are.. I’m not the villain m8, and even though I want Pardew sacked, he ain’t the villain either.

The only thing I can glean from the comment ‘they spent 100M and we spent fcuk all’ is that it is a good thing we spent fcuk all and could someone please explain to me why it is a good thing we spent fcuk all and finished tenth with the worst displays of football witnessed in the Prem.

I am absolutely sure Geordie Two will take that as a compliment. As you keep each other comapny through those hours when no-one else can be arsed to post. The horrible truth is, that you are getting a result. Whereas Geordie……………..

It’s very easy to compare the two, one spends 100M trying to crack the big time, the other spend fcuk all to try and finish mid table. There, I’ve compared them and my findings are, one team has ambition and the fans onside and the other doesn’t and the fans are about to kick off.

Not the best defender but has a great engine and is great going forward (Although I would like him to use his left foot more and develop his final ball) .

For me its the system we use that doesn’t play to his strengths at all . If we played like Everton with our fullbacks basically being wingers then he could thrive, but in Pardews ultra-defensive style he gets found out way too often .

Big Pappa I personally would like to see Hadaira developed as our left back, As I see more potential and a position he can make his own. Santon although has massive potential is a strange enigma as he’s been played in multiple positions but failed to shine in any

scout, I’m not sure what you mean, I pretty much say what I think everytime I post on here and I now think most people are in agreement that we are going nowhere under Mike Ashley, I don’t know why you made the comment ‘don’t make me laugh’ I think Pardew will feel the full force of a backlash unless they do something spectacular in the window and he doesn’t come out from the blocks fast, even if he does another defeat from the mackems will see him confined to his dugout.

well considering there’s nothing to talk about as the season as finished, and pardew and Ashley are still here and to be honest it’s pointless talking about transfers at the moment what else is there to do, and those comments I’ve made was just tonight how about going over the comments I’ve made in the last couple of months.

You must have a lot of time on your hands looking back to what I’ve been saying

Besides all you and some of the others do is moan, it’s only me and GeordieTwo brightens up this blog

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed on Wednesday of this week and yesterday I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to look over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and has not spread any further over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

The cancer metastasized through the bones to different parts of the body and the treatment I am undergoing is hormone treatment.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer but there are treatments (like Hormone treatment) that attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh.

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
